Training techniques to become the best cheer team?

I need help getting people from my highschool,(more guys) to train and become a great cheer team. It's exactly what our school needs.
Any ideas to get girls and GUYS involved and what are some good training metohods?


Honestly i don't think people espically boys understand that is cheerleading is a sport and not only a sport but a diffucult one at that! You should make signs and have announcments made at that highschool! Have one week of pre tryouts to prove to all boys and girls. Make everyone come, make it like a competetion i bet all you boys and girl cant make it through one week without saying after all the work that it isnt a sport and they admit it they stay! Make them run! Jump stretch, cheer, stunt, and everything work them out hard! then there like wow im getting a great work out from this and stay on the team ! hope it works<3

Dog Training Advice- The 1 Dog Training Mistake You Should Avoid

Greetings Puppy and Dog Lovers! This is Allan with some dog training advice and I thank you for being the one who is training your dog. If you are not the one training your dog you really should be. Why? Because it is so much more fun, exciting, effective and cheaper than dog training classes or professional trainers. Some people consider dog training to be lessons for the dog. What they do not realize is that it is lessons for them as well. As the owner you are also learning a lot about your pup.

Dog Training Advice- Common Dog Training Pitfall

Here is what happens: John Smith gets his new doberman and names her Candy. He wants to train her so he looks for training methods. He follows a guide that states they have the one training method that will train any breed of dog. This is good right? WRONG! Huge mistake. Not good dog training advice. There is a lot of misinformation being spread about a one magic bullet training method that works for all dogs. There are over 400 breeds of dogs. There is no way that all these different personalities of dogs can respond to some one universal method. This just does not exist. Well, Sort of. Let me clarify.....

When you first start to train your dog, you should start with basic training. Now basic training methods are fundamental and can be applied to all dogs. These methods are just the general foundation that you build when training your dog and these methods apply to any and every dog. An example would be the positive reinforcement method. This is a fundamental method where you train your dog by praising and rewarding him or her with treats when they complete a task or display good behavior!

However the basic methods are just that the basics. They are not enough. In order to properly train your dog to be obedient, housebroken, well behaved around people and other dogs you need advance training methods that are specific to the type of dog that you have. For example a Dalmatian is considered one for the most aggressive dogs among all dog breeds. In order to control and subdue that aggression you need advance behavior training methods that work for dalmatians. Methods for say Labrador Retrievers would not be as effective since they are one of the most non-aggressive of dog breeds.

Please let this information marinate. I have many friends and family members that went and adopted a dog because they looked cute and then attempted to just train it with just basic training methods. Their dogs sit alright. But their furniture, shoes and pretty much anything in the household has been chewed on including the family and occasional visitors :o). So I hope you found this dog training advice useful! Take care and say hi to the pooch for me.

Dog Training Top Reasons to Do it Yourself!

Some people often wonder why on earth they should bother about considering training their dogs all by themselves when they can pay someone who knows all there is to know about dog training. Well, there are a lot of great reasons why you should consider training your dog yourself and besides it not rocket science for crying out loud!



Top Reasons to Consider DIY Dog Training



a.A poorly trained dog will result in an unruly dog which can become a pretty serious nuisance and of course destructive to the bond between a pet owner and his/her dog. Successful training of ones dog is important for both the dogs safety and the quality of life for both the pet and its owner. Just think about it, will you really risk leaving your dog to be trained by any ole Okie from the Muskogee whom may not really love your dog the way you do?



b.You need to understand that the effective training of your dog must be consistent. Successful training starts even while the dogs are still puppies. The issue with leaving the dogs to a training school is that they may be trained by a totally different dog trainer and this will of course reduce the consistency which might be pretty confusing to any dog.

c.Whoever said that training a dog has to be boring? Effective training of a dog must be fun. You can make training your dog(s) a whole lot of fun which can be truly enjoyed by you and your dog.



d.Dog training is known to create a lasting bond between the dog and its trainer. Since it is your pet, would you really like your dog to have a much better relationship with the trainer instead of having that bond with you? Yes, this can be pretty disastrous. This is the reason why in some cases when burglary occurs and the dogs simply look on and do not even show any sign of barking or the slightest sign of aggression this is because they know the person who entered the house. Training your dog by yourself can create a better relationship with your pet and therefore beneficial for the owner and the dogs.



e.Okay lets admit this, dog training session can be quite expensive and its effectiveness is sometimes questionable. Shelling out money in order to have your dog trained can be pretty financially demanding for a lot of people and learning that your dog was badly trained is enough to drive any dog owner nuts. Training your dog yourself is much cost effective and if you go on to do it right, it would really bring you a lot of satisfaction and pleasure for your pet and for you as well.



Now you understand that training your dog yourself has a lot of benefits. They are good websites that you can learn a whole lot from. You can also buy training items that will help you in effectively training your dog.

House Training Cats

House Training Dogs

Whether you're a first time dog owner or this is another addition to your family from a long history of pet ownership, there is one habit that a dog has that is the most unpleasant of them all. House training. How do we effectively and QUICKLY house train our pup or dog? When I first started out breeding Labrador Retrievers, the one question that came back to me again and again from new puppy owners was “House training dogs - How do I do it, FAST?!?”




Having a new puppy in the household can be the most wonderful time of both you and your new  pups life. I am yet to meet a pup that doesn't make your heart melt each time you look at it. And often, therein lies the problem. When it comes to house training dogs, quite often owners feel very reluctant disciplining their pup because they are so besotted with them and are afraid to “hurt” the pups feelings. Enter exhibit A: the wet patch on the carpet. Enter exhibit B: the steaming pile of love on the kitchen floor. Not so pleasant for you or the household now, is it? What really is at stake here is the way in which we teach the pup acceptable and unacceptable behaviour and set her up for life with clear boundaries for each.




The way in which we discipline dogs needs to be demystified. As a child I distinctly remember my mother rubbing our new pups nose in  his pooh. Oh Lord, if only I could go back to that day and explain to my mother that this was one of the cruellest things she could have done to that poor pup! Rubbing a dog (or cats) nose in its excrement is utterly cruel and does not house train your dog (or cat). There are easier, far more encouraging ways to house train your dog without resorting to archaic treatment. Smacking or scruffing your dog is also ineffective. But whats that? I can hear you ask “But those are the things that won't work..How then do you house train your dog?”




Here's the BEST piece of advice I can give:




YOU have to be trained YOURSELF.




No I don't mean YOU need to be house trained, ( however, if you think it would help - be my guest!) I mean you need to learn all the signals and cues that your pup will give you so you know when it is definitely time to go.  You will also need to learn that repetition is the key to training dogs young or old. You are going to need to COMMIT  to being consistent and spending the time to house train your dog , if you want to see results. Some of this means that you are going to learn cues, develop your dogs vocabulary with commands to go to the toilet, and also a schedule that you and your dog can work to so that both of you are in the clear as to when it is time to go and when it is not. This is important as nobody wants to be getting up to their dog 4 and 5 times an evening because they aren't toilet trained!




Learning the proper technique will ensure that your pup is on the right path to long term house trained success. You will feel more confident in training your pup to perform other commands and your dog will have boundaries set for him or her that are firmly established, because of the consistency and time you have applied to your pup to learn them.




Having a puppy is a commitment that should not be taken lightly. Proper, informed training can mean the difference between your dog being a welcome member of the family or a nuisance that cant be trusted inside. House training dogs can seem like a monumental task at the beginning but the rewards are there if you can get the right information and stay consistent with implementing it.




I wish you every success in house training your dog and many years of happiness for you both.

Cats House Training

cats house training
House training old cat?

I have a rescued old cat, she is a sweet old thing. But I cannot get her to go outside to poop she will only use her litter tray.
Tried all the usuall tricks but no joy.
Anyone got any sugestions please
Shes very smelly.


Cats like to bury their poop. Make an area for her with sand or very loose dirt. They also sell Cat Attract, its to make cats use their litter boxes, but there's no reason you can't use it outside where you want her to go potty.

House Training Tips

House training tips for a new puppy

The New Arrival



As soon as you bring the puppy home, take her outside. The excitement of the car journey coupled with the unfamiliar faces, sights, and sounds will have her needing to go anyway – and if you can orchestrate her first toilet break so that it occurs outside, instead of inside, then so much the better. And not just from the perspective of short-term hygiene, either – the more your puppy relieves herself inside, the more likely she is to do it again.



The homecoming is a great opportunity for you to set a precedent for toilet behavior!



- Take her to your designated toilet area, and put her down on the grass.



- Wait while she sniffs around – refrain from petting her or playing with her just yet, because you don’t want her to forge an association between this area and games. She has to learn that this part of the yard is for toilet breaks only.



- When she begins to relieve herself, say the phrase you want her to associate with toilet breaks: “Go pee” or “potty time” or whatever works for you. It’s best if that phrase is short and easily recognizable – and use the same voice inflection each time, too (so that your dog can easily memorize the meaning of the phrase.)



- When she’s done, make a big fuss over her: shower her in praise and affection, and give her a little treat.



When you take her inside the house, the house training regime you’ve decided upon should start immediately.

As far as house training goes, crate training is generally accepted to be the most effective and efficient means of house training a puppy in a short space of time.



What is crate training?



Crate-training is essentially the use of a small indoor kennel (the crate) to confine your young puppy when you’re not actively supervising her.



How does it work?



Crate training is based on all dogs’ inherent dislike of soiling the area where they sleep. Because you’re restricting your puppy’s movement to her sleeping space, she’ll instinctively “hold it in” until she’s let out of the crate (provided you don’t leave her in there too long, of course!)



This is why it’s important that the crate is sized properly: if it’s too big, she’ll be able to use one end as a bed and one end as a toilet, which defeats the whole purpose!



How do I choose a crate?



As a general guideline, it’s more cost-effective for you to choose a crate that’s big enough for her to grow into. It should be big enough for the adult dog to stand up comfortably without crouching, turn around in, and stretch out – but no bigger (so that she doesn’t choose one part as her bed, and one part as her toilet!)



Because the adult dog is likely to be considerably larger than the puppy, it’ll most likely be necessary for you to use a barrier to reduce the internal size of the crate. A wire grille or board will do just fine.



Alternatively, you can use a cheap crate (or even make one yourself) and replace it with a larger model as your puppy grows.



Using the crate for house training



Crate training works like this: your puppy is in that crate at all times unless she’s sleeping, eating, outside with you going to the toilet, or being played with (active supervision.)



You’ll need to be consistent, or else it won’t work: you can’t let your puppy wander off through the house unless you’re focusing your complete attention on her.



If you allow her access to the house before she’s thoroughly house trained, you’re basically encouraging her to relieve herself inside – and remember, each time she does this, it’ll be easier for her to do it again (and again … and again …)



Sample schedule of a morning's crate training



7am: Wake up. Puppy comes outside with you for a toilet break.
7.25: Breakfast time.
7.45: Back outside for another toilet break (accompanied by you, of course.)
7.50 – 8.45: Play-time! Puppy is out of the crate being actively played with, cuddled, etc.
8.45: Outside for another toilet break.
8.50 – 11: Puppy goes back in the crate for a nap
11 am: Puppy comes outside with you for a toilet break.
11.05 – 12.30: Playtime! Puppy is out of the crate being played with and petted.
12:30: Lunch time.
12.45: Puppy comes outside with you for a toilet break.
1 – 3.30: Puppy goes back in the crate for a nap.



… and so on throughout the day.



Crate training generally takes one to two months (depending on the breed of your dog and how much time you spend on the training process.) As the puppy grows older, you can begin to reduce the amount of time spent in the crate – but beware of doing this too soon!



Other crate training rules



- Your puppy probably won’t be too happy to go in the crate the first couple of times she uses it. She wants to be outside, being showered with affection and attention, and hanging out with you (of course!) But it really is for her own good – in a surprisingly short time, she’ll come to accept the crate as her own personal haven where she can go to relax and get a couple hours’ uninterrupted sleep. It’s important to persevere: do not respond to any whining or crying.



- The best place for the crate to be is the hub of the household: usually the den or the kitchen, anywhere where people tend to congregate. Just because she’s in the crate doesn’t mean she can’t still feel like part of the household; it’s important for her not to feel isolated or excluded.



- The crate should be a welcoming, inviting place for her to go. Lay a couple of thick blankets or towels on the floor, and place a few toys and a chew or two inside it as well. The door should be invitingly open at all times (unless she’s in there, of course, in which case it should be securely shut.)



Some toilet facts about puppies that will come in handy



- Puppies’ bladders and bowels are so small and weak that they have only a very small window of opportunity between knowing that they need to go, and having that need become an immediate reality. Because of this, it’s imperative that you take her outside as soon as she wakes up (she’ll let you know she needs to go out by pawing the door and whining), and within ten minutes of eating or playing.



- Behaviors that indicate she needs to go outside include sniffing the ground and circling. Again, because she’s only little, she won’t exhibit these warning signs for very long – so as soon as she starts, take her out straight away. Better an unnecessary trip to the yard than an unnecessary wet patch (or pile) on the carpet!



- The maximum amount of time that a puppy can be crated at one time is figured out using the following equation: her age in months, plus one. So, a three-month old puppy can be crated for a maximum of four hours. However, this is likely to be physically pretty uncomfortable for her (not to mention hard on her emotionally and psychologically: it’s tough being cramped up with nothing to do), so you should really take her out at least once every two hours during the day. If she’s sleeping, of course, just let her sleep until she wakes up naturally.

Easy Cat Training - Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Easy Cat Training Ideas You Can Use.

Cats are very rewarding pets. They are clever, comparatively easy to care for and can be trained if you know the way to do it correctly . The very first thing to teach a cat is it's name. You'll want it to come to you when you call its name, so repeat this exercise a number of times.
Cats have wants, for example food, water, somewhere to strop their claws and toys or items to capture their interest. If you fail to offer an acceptable scratching post, for example, a cat will use your couch or stereo speakers to strop its claws. Your pet cat isn't doing this'to be naughty' but it doesn't have an alternative.
If the cat starts to scratch the furniture, you can remove the animal and place it at the scratching post. You might want to do this a number of times, but it will eventually realize what the scratching post is for.

Cats naturally chew and play with things. Providing your pet cat with an assortment of fascinating cat toys means she or he is much less likely to munch up your slippers or cushions instead.
It is always a really bad idea to hit a cat. Hitting an animal just makes it scared of you and it doesn't understand the relationship of being hit with behaving in an incongruous way. Often a firm 'no' or clapping your hands will let your pet cat know you disapprove of whatever it is doing wrong.

It's not that the cat understands your spoken word, but the oppressive sound and tone of your voice is sufficient to make it realize something is wrong . Some folks employ a water sprayer to spray the cat's face if it does something wrong. This is also perfectly sufficient and can be used if you're coaching your pet cat.
Some cats like being sprayed ( not many though ) so, for them, an intense noise like a clap can be employed instead.

If your kitty does something good, it is fine to reward it with a cat treat or a minute or two of playtime between you both. It will then associate it's good behaviour with receiving a treat or some sort of bonus.

Cats are naturally nighttime but can be trained to sleep at night. A cat pouncing on you at five in the morning expecting food can be inconvenient! If you get up and feed your pet cat, you are inspiring this behavior.

Having a set feeding time and sticking to it will let the cat know it is pointless to awaken you in the middle of the night because it is not going to be fed. Ensure you play with your pet cat in the daytime and supply it with toys so it is tired enough to need to sleep at night.

Different breeds need slightly different types of coaching. Some breeds can be quiet and shy and others could be more rambunctious. The most important thing is to get to know your particular pet cat and see how it replies best to the training.

The japanese Bobtail, for instance, is very delicate and resilient. This implies it'll keep stropping the settee although you are roaring at it to stop as it is less intimidated by you than, for example, a Persian or Ragdoll cat. You can still train it ? Just change your approach slightly .

Cat coaching is typically about using common-sense and making sure your pet cat has everything it needs for an ecstatic life. Correct training and a lot of adore and care will make sure the two of you have a successful relationship and a large amount of fun together!

With these and more easy cat training tips and ideas, you will learn how to get the very best from your feline friend. Your cat deserves the very best you can give it for it to be a loving and obedient friend. Click here to visit our website.
